Voltaic Systems has introduced a brand-new laptop case that will actually charge your laptop. The Generator bag uses a single panel to produce a comparatively-whopping 14.7 watts, stored in an included battery. What does that mean? One day of sun will be enough to fully charge your laptop--heck, it doesn't even need to be shining to capture some of that solar juice.

We've seen solar laptop cases that could produce enough juice to charge a cell phone or iPod--but given that these are laptop cases, charging peripherals seems to miss the point. Fortunately, Voltaic Systems has introduced a brand-new laptop case that will actually charge your laptop. The Generator bag uses a single panel to produce a comparatively-whopping 14.7 watts, stored in an included battery. What does that mean? One day of sun will be enough to fully charge your laptop--and it doesn't even need to be a sunny day to capture some of that solar juice.

The Voltaic will also come with all the adapters you need to connect laptops phones, universal plugs, USB plugs, and car chargers. And there's an indicator light built into the handle that indicates when the panels are generating a charge. Nice design!

Voltaic is certainly committed to going all the way with the eco-friendliness of this bag--the waterproof, UV-resistant fabric is made from recycled soda bottles (PET). For $599 (Voltaic's most expensive model), it better come in more than one color, and it sort of does: The solar panels can be outlined with orange, silver, green, or charcoal.
